How to choose copper utensils

Copper utensils come in three kinds. Knowing which one you are buying matters more than the design:

  • Pure copper (copper inside and out): for storing and drinking plain water. Bottles, jugs, glasses, jars, matka and lotas. Do not use it for lemon, milk, curd or hot food.
  • Copper with kalai (tin lining): for cooking. The traditional way to cook in copper. Kalai wears off over years and can be re-done by a kalaiwala.
  • Steel-lined copper (copper outside, steel inside): for any food or drink, with the beauty of copper and the ease of steel.

Other things to check: weight (real copper is heavy), jointless construction for bottles, and a seller who states the material clearly. Every Rivaj piece sold as pure copper is covered by our Purity Promise. Not sure which bottle to get? Read the copper bottle guide or copper vs steel. Comparing metals? See copper vs brass vs kansa.

Can we cook food in copper utensils?

How do I clean copper utensils?
Rub with half a lemon dipped in salt, or a paste of tamarind or vinegar with salt, rinse and dry fully. Clean weekly for pieces in daily use. Do not use steel wool or a dishwasher, and only wipe meena-painted or lacquered finishes.
